Every Sunday night the opportunity is available to be part of a connection group. These small groups meet in homes throughout the greater McKinney area. While the meetings will vary slightly from group to group, generally they will consist of planned Bible study, Bible oriented discussion, and prayer. When children are present, special efforts to involve them in discussion and singing are made. Some groups also have a children's lesson, in a separate room, reinforcing the adult lesson.

 

Relationships are important in the New Testament church. The New Testament is filled with "one another" commands suggesting that Christians should be deeply involved with other Christians. Are connection groups the only way to do this? Of course not, however many find that connection groups are a valuable tool for personal growth and relationship building.

 

The High Pointe congregation exists in a high growth area. Many of those who are moving into the region do not have family or many friends here. It is not uncommon for those transferring into the greater McKinney area to speak of feeling "disconnected." Our connection group ministry helps connect people personally to God and God's family.

 

Members of a connection group "look out" for each other. When there is a crisis in a family, their group friends are there for support and help. Our elders incorporate the needs discovered through the small groups into their shepherding ministry. Connection groups can be very important to the life of a congregation. People who are active in connection groups hardly ever drop out of a congregation. If they try, they are immediately missed. That is another value of connection groups.
